By punishing murderers with the death penalty, society is also guilty of committing murder. Therefore, life in prison is a better punishment for murderers. Discuss this statement and give your own opinion.

The rates of committing

murders

are increasing day by day and it is usual to see news about new crimes. Several countries have already been practising punishing

murders

with the

death

penalty

,

however

, other ones still believe that killing

murders

is not the best solution to do justice and prefer sentencing them to jail.

Although

there is not a trivial question to answer, both points of view are worth considering. To start with, the

death

penalty

is the cruellest way of punishing

murders

.

Consequently

, when every murderer gets lethal punishments, it leads to a person thinks twice before taking away somebody’s life.

As a result

, the crime rates on the whole, and

murders

, in specific, might tend to decline in a country.

In addition

to that, if society executes a quite large number of criminals, it might suspend committing other

murders

.

Thus

, one killer’s

death

can save lots of a number of simple people’s lives.

In contrast

to that, sentencing

can lead to hardening society.

Also

, there are some chances that prisoners, who are accused of committing murder, are not the real ones.

Therefore

, they are sent to the

death

penalty

, losing their lives before proving their innocence. Meanwhile, being sentenced to prison for the rest of their lives is

also

a decent type of punishment.

For instance

, there are opportunities to fix the criminals. Prison can not completely re-educate them, but, at least, they may realize what they had done previously are illegal, and imprisonment life might cause them to change their attitudes and behaviours by receiving lectures. Along with, prisoners are supplied with a better life-skill during the whole time in jail

such

as sewing, building houses and furniture, etc.

Conversely

, according to some circumstances, it is not unacceptable to let murder live.

For example

, a 19-years-old boy, who broke into the school and killed children and teachers in Kazan, Russia, or a man, who murdered and dismembered a female student in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Summing up, in my opinion, punishment should be chosen according to the types of crime or action. The

death

penalty

is essential and fair enough for killers, but, at the same time, punishment by sending them to prison is

also

giving chance to establish peace and justice in society.
